Muasau (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Muasau was held out of practice all of last week after sustaining a concussion in Week 2 at Dallas, so his activity Wednesday is a positive step toward potentially returning to game action in Week 4. He'll need to fully clear concussion protocol Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Ouzts (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Ouzts suffered an ankle injury in Seattle's blowout Week 3 win over the Saints. He'll miss at least the next four games, ruling him out until a Week 9 matchup against the Commanders.

The Lions signed Dwelley from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Benjamin Raven of MLive Media Group reports.

Dwelley signed with the Lions' practice squad Sept. 16 after the Lions placed fellow tight end Shane Zylstra (ankle) on injured reserve. Dwelley was elevated for the Lions' Week 3 win over the Ravens on Monday, when he played 16 snaps (12 on special teams, four on offense) without otherwise appearing on the box score. Now that he's on the active roster, Dwelley will continue to serve on special teams while operating as the Lions' No. 3 tight end behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.

Stingley (oblique) didn't practice Wednesday.

Stingley suffered an oblique injury this past Sunday versus the Jaguars and was deemed day-to-day by coach DeMeco Ryans on Monday. Stingley's lack of practice Wednesday isn't a promising sign toward his availability for Sunday's matchup against Tennessee, but he'll have two more chances to get on the field this week before the Texans potentially tag him with a status heading into the weekend. If Stingley can't suit up Sunday, Tremon Smith could start in his place.

Prentice was signed to the Broncos' 53-man roster Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Prentice was promoted from the Broncos' practice squad to the active roster for each of the first three games. He could not be elevated again, so the team has now added him to its active roster. Prentice is likely to play a handful of snaps both on offense and special teams.

Madubuike (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

It'll be the second straight game that Madubuike will miss due to a neck injury that he likely picked up during the Ravens' Week 2 win over the Browns. Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Wednesday that Madubuike's injury is a long-term concern, which could mean an IR stint for the 2020 third-rounder. John Jenkins will continue to see additional snaps on the defensive line for as long as Madubuike is out of action.

Chaisson (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Chaisson played on 76 percent of defensive snaps in New England's Week 3 loss, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. He's had a solid start to the year, tallying seven total tackles with 1.5 sacks in three games. Chaisson will have two more chances to get on the practice field before a Week 4 matchup against the Panthers.

Gonzalez (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

Gonzalez has missed the first three games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury that he suffered at the beginning of training camp in late July. He returned to practice leading up to the Patriots' Week 3 bout against the Steelers, and Graff relays that Gonzalez is trending toward making his 2025 debut against the Panthers on Sunday.

Porter (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Porter hasn't played since he injured his hamstring in Week 1 against the Jets. He hadn't even practiced since that contest, so his return to the field as a limited participant Wednesday suggests that he's making progress in his recovery. According to DeFabo, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Porter has a chance to suit up against the Vikings on Sunday.

Mullings (ankle) was estimated to be a DNP on Wednesday, as the Titans held a walk-through practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Mullings was active for the team's Week 3 loss to the Colts after missing one week of action with an ankle injury. The running back has now opened this week as a nonparticipant, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Texans.
